I do not hate the French and in fact admire a lot of French society. I do find it funny however that a culture that tries to seem such an example of open-minded inclusivness, can not throw a bone to visitors who are learning. I mean they laugh at the Americans for their cluelessness about other countries and here they are not making any allowances for other cultures. Just my opinion..

This is my major irk. They claim to be very inclusive, as long as you're not: Jewish, Muslim, American, German, etc... It comes across as: "We like all these ideals of multiculturalism, as long as they're elsewhere. France is for the French."
